process of obtaining the originals of editing the marine charts, such as the content
and shape. For the first time the marine charts and Romanian nautical documents
are prepared in accordance with the recommendations of the International Hydrographic Bureau. So were written and edited the new cartographic products: The
Romanian Black Sea Pilot; The Notices to mariners; a set of navigational maps; the
first Atlas of conventional signs; The Instructions on the content of navigational
charts; The Instructions on how to apply the conventional signs on charts; The
Instructions on the form and content of the notices to mariners. It establishes The
Registry for keeping records on changes that need to be mapped, are made

Black Sea basin charts.
In 1984 it has been editing and multiplying the first four hyperbolic charts to a
scale of 1:10,000.
In 1985 the International Hydrographic Organization attribute to Hydrographic
Maritime Department the publication of the first international map whit the number
INT 3820, From Cape (Nos) Kaliakra to Danube Delta, printed in the next year
(Fig. 33.13).
Outside nautical charts, in 1986, it is completed: The navigation map of the
Danube-Black Sea Canal (see Fig. 33.14) and the first Plan of Constantza Harbour,
and Constanza Sud-Agigea Plan, at scale 1:10,000, and in 1989, it is drawn up a

European geopolitical context, changing the Staff of the Romanian Naval Forces.
Following the tradition of sea-river defense were set up the Maritime Fleet and The
Danube Flottila.
After 1990, The Maritime Hydrographic Directorate was reorganized, it moved
to its current headquarters and realized, among other things: editing of 37 national
navigational charts (Fig. 33.15) with scales ranging from 1: 750,000 to 5000;
editing “Cartea farurilor, semnalelor de ceata si radiofarurilor din Marea Neagra
si Marmara” and “Nautical Tables” DH – 90.
In 2002 The M.H.D. finished the first Romanian navigation electronic map (E.N.
C.) in accordance with the standards I.H.O. S-57, edition 3.1 (see Fig. 33.16).
In 2004 it was approved the Law no. 395 on Maritime Hydrographic Activity in
Romania, law that establishes and regulates the activity of the Maritime Hydrographic Directorate granting this institution the status of national authority in the
field of hydrography.
In the same year was realized for the first time, the implementation of the
“CARIS” program, which includes the whole navigation situation, topographic
and hydrographic on types and classes of objects standard OHI S-57, and were
made and edited the first charts in raster format: Chart 1.150.01, From Nos Kaliakra
to Capul Midia; Chart 1.500.01, The northwest part of the Black Sea; Chart
1.500.07, From Sulina to Zouguldak; chart 1.250.01, From Nos Kaliakra to Brat ¸ul
